	<br>Evolve~~'s most recognizable achievement was changing~~ the formula from ~~symmetrically sized~~ teams ~~to asymmetric sized teams, in addition to~~ the ~~different styles~~ of ~~gameplay mechanics between~~ the ~~two sides~~. ~~This trend has carried over into~~ the ~~current plethora~~ of ~~asymmetric games.

As players progress through~~ the ~~archives~~, ~~they can unlock sundry; bloodpoints, cinematics, logs, memories, and charms. Overall, The Archives are layered~~ with ~~different categories that each provide specific leveling systems~~ and rewards.

With~~ a ~~variety of abilities unmatched by his compatriots, Michael Myers is as interesting as~~ he is ~~dangerous.
